The wait has been worth it. This is prime Rhyme: a fiendishly smart villain, bewildering crimes, plenty of plot twists, and Lincoln, the quadriplegic criminalist, is at his cranky, belligerent, brilliantly clever best.
Booklist
The dialogue and plotting are as sharp as ever in The Midnight Lock If the burglar s break-in feats often resemble magic, so do some of Deaver s tricks.
The Sunday Times of London
Some readers will be aghast in admiration at the nonstop revelations, others impatient for every last T to be crossed so that they can turn the last page and get to sleep before dawn. In the end, everyone will agree that there s no other detective under the midnight moon like Lincoln Rhyme.
